2009年6月23日 · We like to let the wood dry out for a week or two in the 90+ degree heat to allow some of the treatment to evaporate/soak-in further and then apply stain or paint. Once the wood has dried a bit, it has the capability to absorb some of the finish beyond the surface, creating a much stronger adherence.

2008年7月5日 · Painting Pressure Treated Wood / Kiln Dried After Treatment I have 6 columns to replace on a 1930's porch. The columns are boxes made old growth SYP 1x4 on two sides and 1x6 on two sides. I'm thinking of replacing them using the same dimension materials using #1 SYP KDAT. Not the wet PT type wood. It's kiln dried after the PT.

2009年3月15日 · Had no problem painting pressure-treated before but used 24 hour oil primer and not on a walking surface, the cabot is like a 4-8 hour primer so maybe not a good idea on the sunwood as it would have to penetrate through the chemical wash...

2024年4月18日 · I am familiar with allowing pressure treated lumber to dry out before priming and painting but my concern is the 16' planks will twist and warp while drying out for several months. If i install the planks "wet" and allow them to dry then I will not be able to prime and paint the end grain or the top edge of the plank unless I removed them but ...

2005年7月26日 · It's the moisture trying to escape. A lot of wood siding is installed without back-priming which prevents moisture from getting in the back side of the wood. Moisture enters the back, then lifts the paint as it tries to escape the front side. With treated wood, all of the moisture is still in the wood when you buy it.

2006年12月27日 · I suggested the treated exterior plywood as something that should last a long time without delaminating as other plywoods may do after a while in the rain and heat down here in N'Awlins. What I hadn't thought about was the priming and painting of brand new treated wood.

2007年9月5日 · I agree that new PT wood is not easy to stain. While waiting will get the finish to look better the wet/evaporation cycles will start to check, cup and crack the wood. I wait 30 days, clean and pH balance it, wait two weeks then stain. The wood finish looks decent and the stain holds up (somewhat). Its usually ready to be retreated in less than ...

2009年1月6日 · The Olympic clear seal slows the drying process, minimizes shrinkage & movement as wood dries. Must always wait 72 hrs before painting, manufacturers recommendation. The latex allows any moisture inside the …

2009年8月6日 · I capped a couple treated posts on my deck about 8 years ago and they still look good. My problem with capping treated wood is the shrinkage and movement of the wood can ripple the aluminum stock. I always had contractors frame garage doors out with treated two by six jambs and I'd cover them.
